●This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when
moving it.
●It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt
to modify this product in any way.
●All packing and transit bolts must be removed before
use. Serious damage can occur to the product and to
property if this is not adhered to. See relevant section
in instructions.
●Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does
not stand on the electrical supply cable.
●If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please
adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.
Child Safety
●This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.
Children should not be allowed to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.
●Pets and children have been known to climb into
washer-dryers. Please check your drum before use.
●The glass door becomes very hot during the washing
cycle. Keep children away from the vicinity of the
appliance whilst it is in operation.
●Keep all packaging well away from children.
●Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.
●When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children form becoming trapped
inside while playing.
Use
●Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water
supply after use.
●Do not overload the appliance. See relevant section in
the instruction book.
●Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed and dried. If in doubt, consult the
care label on the clothes.
●Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and
buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or
torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust,
and grass before washing. Underwired bras must
NOT be machine washed.
●Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws,
stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause
extensive damage and must not be placed into the
machine.
●Garments which have been in contact with volatile
petroleum products should not be machine washed. If
volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken
to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment
before placing in the machine.
●Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts
etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for
such items to slip down between the tub and the
inner drum.
●Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener.
Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer
to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.
●As some duvets and eiderdowns should be
washed/dried in large commercial machines because
of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of
the item before washing in a domestic machine.
●The users should always check that they have not left
their gas lighters (disposable or otherwise) in their
clothing.
●Never tumble dry items that have had contact with
chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid.These are of a
volatile nature and could cause an explosion.
Only tumble dry items which have been washed in
water or require airing.
●Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the
drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash-
through-to-dry you should use the conventional
detergent dispenser drawer.

Maintenance and cleaning
●Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes
to preserve the door seal.
●For information on maintenance and cleaning your
washing machine see page 26 of this instruction
manual.
Service
●This product should only be repaired or serviced by
an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine
approved spare parts should be used.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
●Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
●The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
●With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
●Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
●Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
●Save energy and reduce drying time by ensuring the
laundry load has been thoroughly spun before
attempting to machine dry.
●Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
●Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
●When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.
●Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
